Basically SIO probably lost one whole month. And that makes a huge difference.
Especially compared to DH, when DH had both Spotify (+ all other streaming services), while SIO had only Youtube.

No, you said SIO couldn't make the Top 10 because it had 4 months while Roar had 4 months too and streaming was MUCH weaker back then.
Let's compare their VEVO stats in the tracking period:
SIO: around 330M views from VEVO
Roar: around 250M views from VEVO
Spotify:
Roar: ? it only hit 100M streams March 2014
SIO: It spent 40 days at #1
SIO had the advantage of streaming but still did less than 8M units.
Dark Horse was a big seller and a big streaming hit too + It doesn't include the sales + streams before December 1st, 2013.
